The Motorcycle
Warning
This motorcycle is designed for use as a
two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a
rider on his/her own, or a rider and one
passenger (subject to the pillion seat and
footrests being fitted).
The total weight of the rider, and any
passenger, accessories and luggage must
not exceed the maximum load limit of
205 kg (452 lbs).
Warning
The footrests provided must always be
used by the rider and passenger during
operation of the vehicle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk of
inadvertent contact with any motorcycle
components and will also reduce the risk of
injury from entrapment of clothing.
